Northern Pictures’ ABC series Employable Me has won two gold medals at the New York Festivals International TV and Film Awards, which celebrate outstanding screen content from around the world.

Watching Hardball, there's a jump-started narrative more enjoyably brisk than most adult comedies; the show doesn't dilute what works for an adult audience, instead it finds a tempo and tone that zips along for a tween crowd.

One of the most striking aspects of Hardball is that for a comedy, it has a serious edge. Among the fervour and the drama of the handball court, the series puts considerable thought into what it means to be a father today.

As a nature documentary maker, I have spent days staring at a dog dropping. It was in a glass box. A multi-award-winning cinematographer sat beside me, macro lens trained on the scene, as we watched and waited for a swarm of blowflies to descend.

Editorial by Tosca Looby. ‘We captured creatures no-one could identify’. Magical Land of Oz is the first blue-chip natural history series to be commissioned and broadcast by the ABC in almost two decades. It has been a huge project, spanning the breadth of Australia’s landmass and her three oceans, showcasing animals many Australians won’t realise exist on their continent, using camera technology that has allowed new access to wild animals.

EMPLOYABLE ME wins the AACTA Award for Best Documentary or Factual Program at the 2018 AACTAs.

Employable Me has won Best Reality TV at the Venice TV Awards and was the sole Aussie win.

The Kimberley of PBS’s “Outback: The Kimberley Comes Alive” is so dazzling a world of wildlife, wild weather and archaeological marvels—not least the preserved footsteps of what were surely the most immense dinosaurs ever to tread the earth—it can feel impossible to keep up with it.

Filming has started on Northern Pictures' first foray into live action drama, with the cameras rolling on the kids' comedy series Hardball.

“I’m glad you can make use of my weapons grade autism”, laughs Jonathon in the ABC TV series Employable Me. He has landed a competitive paid internship, channelling his passion for accountancy. As well as a love of numbers, he has a wicked sense of humour and a way with words. And his sentiment is in line with the theme of the series, which promotes harnessing the strengths of its participants, rather than focusing on what they cannot do.

At a time when so much commercial TV is bereft of diverse casts and stories, this ABC series about people with neuro conditions looking for work is all the more commendable.
